I know about using candle wax as a resist but I have never done it because I just can't "get" the concept in my head. I think I need to watch someone do it. (Wanna do a video?!?) :) <br /><br />I had just seen something about Shabby Paints and I am going to get some. So glad you did the review! I like the idea of having the different sizes as opposed to a pricey quart of ASCP or a little paint sample which I still think is overpriced. And the VAX sounds like something I would really like. I really like a poly or acrylic finish on the top of a piece. I know my friends and family. I have to BEG people to use a coaster!<br />Three Birds Inspiredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10462935193167668508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6492363525800683157.post-58816698422445432652013-07-28T02:26:22.274-04:002013-07-28T02:26:22.274-04:00They are both pretty, but I was in LOVE with the t...They are both pretty, but I was in LOVE with the turquoise desk with the clock faces...
